AU visa application （澳洲visa申请）：
至于教程，我search了很多，最详细的要数FB里的“非常好玩” Play n Fly。
因为我是在手机app submit了申请，却只收到Email request more documents而不知道如何继续的那个，所以延误了三个星期才依照这个link的教程继续了申请而成功的在十天内收到了Immi AU给的approval，感谢他。

马来西亚申请澳洲eta被拒 AU Tasmania 25 May ~ 26 May 2024 Day 1 & 2
筹备这次的旅行，决定了塔斯马尼亚和墨尔本分了两段租车，而且租的是小型休旅车型号，所以出发前就大家沟通好打算减少行李，一家五口就两个24”箱和两个20”登机箱，两个电脑背包，两个背包装无人机和其他。
虽然是2.30pm的飞机，为了避免塞车或其他不可预期因素，我们决定让limo在6.30am pickup。
早到就在Jewel Changi Airport逛逛，拍一下经典的瀑布。
菲航不错还能提早把大件行李寄舱，一身轻就去逛逛。
来得太早，8点多9点就到了，实在一顿好等都没看到人造瀑布下水咯。
间中把家里带出来的早餐就解决。
真的是好不容易咯，终于不是狼来了。。。
迎面一股凉意，这瀑布一次大概set好了下水半个小时酱。
其实这个人造景观（Dec 2014年至今），大概都有了十年了吧 ！
现在的我们才像刘姥姥进入大观园那般的suagu一下。
学学网红拍照打卡。
清凉了空气，也得清凉一下自身，机场买了几杯清凉饮，这杯是正常的青柠，另外还有个杏仁口味的奶茶，我谢谢了，那股“kazha”味至今仍然记忆尤新。。。下不为例咯。
终于登机了，出发。
为了便宜机票买的是马尼拉转机，委屈自己花多一点时间呆在机场。
不久就上餐饮了。
牛肉饭好吃。
晚霞！
抵达了马尼拉机场，只有短短的两个小时转机。
落地后就有机场和菲航工作人员持牌接我们一行要在此转机的乘客往一个特别通道而去，心想：“哇！好棒的服务。”
却没想到这等好事发生的起因在于马尼拉往墨尔本的菲航行李管控非常严厉。
第一关卡在人过的安检，custom人员硬要我打开我的背包里面的100g泥状面膜，打开后又读了好久罐子上的成份和说明，还嗅了好久，最后采访我过，心想好在我分装的时候决定用回原罐，如果分装小罐难保不被他没收了咯。
最够力还在后面，行李虽说是直挂却是要我们一行五人派两个人下去特别的行李gate，认领自己的，这时最乱，因为我们不能出去直接拿，又只有为数不多的工作人员，乘客又多，一个字“乱”。
终于指指点点的拿到了我们家的三个寄舱行李，然后打开了给custom人员检查再seal回去（strenght film）， 行李拖车又拉回飞机（飞往墨尔本的）。
这才匆匆忙忙的去登记gate上机，我们是那些剩下的几个了。
抵达墨尔本是清晨6点多。
抵达墨尔本机场的一件事就是打算在机场把在shopee买的两张sim卡拿来set up。
哪里知道只有Optus可以轻松的在Optus柜台完成。
而另外一张Telstra的就做不成，白白浪费了80块马币。
幸好我的umobile本身的roaming也很给力，整个十几天的两段自驾行程都安全和实用。
从T2 到 T4，可以用走的。
Jetstar在T4。
这次的机票除了Jetstar是在本身的app买，其他的都通过Trip.com。
抵达Launceston机场就用手机直接打给当时用email book 的Launceston机场附近的 APEX前台。
预定的是MG HS（中小型的SUV）。
他们有机场shuttle pickup服务，推荐。
价钱也合理便宜，只需要在出发四个月前订车。通常都有很好的rate。
这是柜台小姐share的APEX - shuttle pick up time table，用在Hobart机场还车的时候。
因为是中小型SUV，为了塞入我们的两大两小的行李，我们费了好些时间。
最后，还是由一个年长一点，看着比第一位接待我们更资深一些的cusotmer service帮我们把行李箱隔板给拆了下来，这才把所有的行李一一叠入。
真的很感谢她。
拿到了车后，去的第一站就是
Cataract Gorge Reserve抵达后就询问了一位戴着家人小孩的当地人，怎么买parking。
他还好心的指点我们如果逗留不久就不要买了。好人一个。
easy trek的步道，景观真的美。
可惜我坐了接近30个小时的转机行程，脚肿（就算穿了压力袜也一样咯）
搞到全家人为了迁就走不动的我随便逛逛而已，之前计划的trekking （power station trek）最终夭折了。
国外的空气都是那么好的吗？
真的凉凉冷冷，天空巨蓝。
园区居然还养了孔雀。。。
上Google map找了附近的Mcd，吃午餐。
第一餐在AU，吃的是快餐，只点了4份，太累了，没什么胃口，只想着快点check in民宿。
Google map说还需要一个小时车程。
途中经过的景色，随手一拍。
一个多小时抵达了Sheffield motor inn (Booking.com预定的），checkin 后随便在走路就到的超市买了一些instant food，放microwave热一下当晚餐，洗洗睡了。
